Question 2
You are caring for 35-year-old man who tells you that he feels distress about being a male, and ever since he was a young child has thought of himself as a female.
He describes the isolation he feels and concern about fitting in socially and at work because of these recurrent thoughts. How would you respond to your patient?
1) Provide information about support groups and other community resources for transsexual people.
2) Reassure him that he is normal, saying there are more people than we know who feel this way.
3) Share with him that you personally have had thoughts like this but have coped with these thoughts.
4) Suggest your patient seeks mental health care for medication to help him deal with his anxiety.
